Merge Gaming with The Flood?

Cheat · September 10, 2014, 10:32:24 PM

Gaming's population is very weak (less than Serious, and Serious was added a bit after the other boards), so should we just obliterate the board and move all the threads into this one? I just want to see where everyone stands on this; comments are helpful.

Note: An official Destiny thread could be pinned here to limit "Desticles" from encroaching on your space if this happens.

Yeah. Like I said before, Gaming is dead. It's pretty much impossible to talk about any kind of game on this site, because you're guaranteed to get like, one response an hour. There isn't enough traffic there to warrant it being another whole board.

"If it fits nowhere else, it goes here."

>implying there would be anywhere else to go if you did this

I mean, I really don't care, but I can feel myself having to swim through topics about Phil Fish and other shit no one should care about already...

Yu · September 10, 2014, 10:49:38 PM

One part of me wants it separated the other part wants me to have gaming threads see more traffic.

The Justicar · September 10, 2014, 10:49:43 PM

Why are there even more than one board? This isn't boner.net

Lifts Her Tail · September 10, 2014, 10:50:26 PM

Nah.

Yeah, I'm not gonna enjoy having 2 boards to look at. Honestly, nobody looks at either Support or Updates. So yeah. 2 boards.

You really should look at updates from time to time. Important stuff gets posted there and it's a good place to go if you're looking to find out what's going on with the forum.

Support isn't meant to draw discussion. It's there as a place for you to submit bug reports.

HAHAHAHA

You said boner.

It's funny because it's sexual, and sex is funny!

There's many similarities to this website and Bnet. Avoiding them for the sake of not being Bnet is arbitrary when the whole point of having multiple subforums is for organization. This particular subforum would be the biggest hodge-podge of bullshit ever if Gaming merged.

God damn it. I laughed so hard at this.

Did you make it so we can't see the results?

Upon further consideration, I'm actually a little concerned as to the general consensus of this is.

Yes, I did.

I gotta say no to this idea. I think merging the boards would create clutter and would ultimately make The Flood harder to navigate through.
Also if we are going with the gaming journalism idea, don't you think people will look for a "gaming" board on here? I assume that if it is gaming articles bringing them in they will want to talk about gaming. >.>

I'll be installing a "clone thread" feature eventually, so topics will be pulled from any forum and cloned into the News forum for the front page.

And it's looking like we'll be keeping Gaming separate, anyway.

True Turquoise · September 11, 2014, 12:41:14 AM

Nah. That'll get a little too crazy

Solonoid · September 11, 2014, 01:08:31 AM

The Old Flood had Gaming.
If we are trying to recreate that, then it should be merged.

R o c k e t · September 11, 2014, 01:16:39 AM

No. Its easier to talk about games when I don't have to dig through off topic threads that bury them.

Right. Learn to use forums that pertain to your interests. I'd love to post in Gaming, if I knew I didn't have a weird-ass taste in games and thus wouldn't have much to bring to the table for discussion. So that's why I don't post there.
